Abstract

In the present paper, we describe an individual, found as part of a screening study, being homozygous for the C282Y mutation and at the same time heterozygous for the H63D mutation in the HFE gene. Identical results were obtained by three different methods, i.e., by PCR-RFLP, by sequencing, and by melting curve analysis. Thus, the common conception that the C282Y and the H63D mutations are mutually exclusive is not valid. Clinical symptoms and laboratory data on the individual were similar to hemochromatosis patients homozygous for the C282Y mutation. The implications of our finding for diagnostic analytical laboratory procedures are briefly discussed.
